Question: A single isothermal CSTR has the following elementary reactions.
Only component A is in the feed stream, and its concentration, Cao, can change as the input to the system. Answer the following questions for both Cases I and II.
(a) Derive the model describing the concentration of component B in the reactor.
(b) Which of the general system structures covered in this chapter de scribes this system?
(c) Determine whether the system can experience underdamped, overdamped, and unstable behavior for physically possible parameter values.
(d) Describe the response of this system to feed concentration step changes in Cao and determine which system would have a faster response.
(e) Repeat all parts of this question, with the composition of A in the reactor being the output variable.
